Week 12 - Turkey Week

Manwich Matchup of the Week
Patriots @ Saints - Wow, what a Monday Nighter! I think the odds are high that Belichick works feverishly through Thanksgiving while digesting as much film as possible for the sole purpose of embarrassing Drew Brees.
Pick: Pats

Upset of the Week
CAR @ Jets - This is another week with what looks like a lot of awful games. Granted, last week the CHIEFS AND RAIDERS scored big upsets... I just don't have the balls to forecast something like that. Instead, I'll just predict that Mark Sanchez will throw 3 more INTs.
Pick: CAR

Opening Round Playoff Game #11
Teams that have been eliminated: Cincy (against Denver in week 1)!, St. Louis, Washington, Buffalo (twice), Jacksonville, Tampa, Oakland, Detroit, San Fran, and now Atlanta
Pitt @ Baltimore - I can't believe these teams haven't played yet, and that they play again in week 16. The Steelers are 6-4. The Ravens 5-5. A loss gives either team 3 division losses and will require the other team to be almost perfect the rest of the way. Granted, the Ravens are probably more desperate this week. And they are at home!
Pick: Baltimore

Fantasy Football Game of Interest
Giants @ Broncos - A Manning, a Marshall, some RBs... should be an exciting game... for the Broncos to lose 5 straight!
Pick: Giants

Other Games
GB @ Det - Pick: GB
Oak @ Dallas - Pick: Dallas
Indy @ Houston - Pick: Indy (again, this is horse shit that the Texans played the Colts in week 9, took a bye, played the Titans, and now are playing the Colts again).
Cleve @ Cincy - Pick: Cincy
Chicago @ Minny - Pick: Minny
Washington @ Philly - Pick: Philly
Miami @ Buff - Pick: Miami
Arizona @ Tennessee - Pick: Arizona (this should be interesting... can the Titans win 5 in a row to get to 5-6???)
Seattle @ St. Louis - Pick: Seattle
Tampa @ ATL - Pick: ATL
Jack-o @ San Fran - Pick: San Fran (I really don't like Jacksonville, they can't be that good, right?)
KC @ San Diego - Pick: San Diego

Last Week: 13-3 (oh yeah!)
Season: 105-55
Manwich: 5-6 (Go Chargers!)
Upset of the Week: 5-6 (Thanks Dolphins for pulling it out!)

NBA games of the Week-
last week's "Games of the Week" - Orlando edged Boston in a defensive-oriented game... The Spurs got back on track by beating the Bucks.

Orlando @ ATL - Thurs 11/26 - ATL have been red-hot!
Dallas @ Cleveland - Sat 11/28 - The Mavs have been up-and-down.
